The Windstar transmission comes out the bottom. Support brackets are used to 'hang' the engine from the top in order to take the trans out. Ambitious project, but certainly doable.
It definatly has to come out the bottom. The best way to do it is to disconnect everything that connects the engine and transmission to the vehicle and drop the sub frame with the engine and tranny still intact.
The 2002 Ford Windstar shifter cable goes from the back of the transmission to the bottom of the shifter stick. The cable is approximately 6 feet long.
I am looking around to replace the transmission on my 1995 Ford Windstar and the information that I received from several different mechanics is that the 1995 Windstar transmission is a "one year" transmission so you pretty much have to get a 1995 transmission for a 1995 windstar engine. I'm no mechanic and really have no idea but this is just what I've been told... someone out!
